Graphic Designer / Typographer / Video Editor

I’ve spent 15 years as a graphic designer, and in the past 8 years have started mixing in a love for video production. I’ve been doing mostly documentary stuff for non-profits, and am currently working for an organization in Uganda.

This is a great explanation of how this type of autofocus works, however this wouldn’t apply to video. When the DSLR is in live view, it uses a different type of autofocus than the one shown here (as it can’t use this since the mirror is up).

Yup, you missed it. Apple has had a dedicated iPhone remote app for the Apple TV with touch-screen control for as long as I can remember (I downloaded it when I got my first 2nd Gen Apple TV).

The other feature in the new remote that you may have missed is the gyro sensor that comes in handy when playing video games. You can now control Apple TV apps by swinging the remote around like a Wii controller.

Sorry, I must have been sensitive for some reason. Now that you mention it, his name sounds very familiar. I didn’t know he developed code for Premiere, although I’d imagine that was so long ago that none of the new features we’re seeing now had anything to do with him.

Honestly though, something like morph cut looks extremely useful to me, whereas FCPX’s biggest feature in their last release was 3D titles, which almost no professional editor needs or wants. If they do, they have other software they’re doing it in that will work better than what they can do in FCPX.

It makes me feel like Adobe might be the more promising boat, especially if Apple ever decides to ditch FCP in the future like they did with Aperture.
